Is there a deadline to signup?

When do classes meet?

You choose which class time works best for you. You can pick from morning, afternoon, evening or weekend classes.

How long does it take to finish the program?

The “Transitions” class is a total of 48 hours in the classroom. The length of job training varies widely, depending on which career pathway you choose. Most students finish training in 6-12 months.

How many students will be in my class?

There are 15-25 students for every instructor. You will train with the same group of classmates throughout Learn and Earn Pathways. This allows classes to be more discussion-based, interactive and fun.

Is orientation mandatory?

Yes, and for good reason. It’s during this time that you will be given all the details of the program. The more you know about what to expect, the better prepared you’ll be to get started.

Also, your skill level will be examined at orientation. This is so you can be placed in a class that best fits your level.

I’m not eligible for the program. Do I have other options?

Yes, there are other options for training. Some of these are free, grant-based programs, and others are paid, tuition-based programs. Each college of DCCCD offers something different.
Contact a program coordinator to discuss which option works best for you.

I’m college staff. How can I help students register?

Identify a potential student who fits the grant criteria (unmet TSI in one or more subject areas; unmet TSI scores equivalent to an NRS level 3 or 4 and above; no GED or high school diploma).

Communicate with the student to determine interest in the Learn and Earn Pathways program.

Refer the student with TSI test scores to the campus coordinator for further information and potential enrollment.
